No two brake calipers are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
No — the W245 (2005–2011) and W246 (2012–2018) are entirely different generations with different subframes, hubs, and brake assemblies, so calipers are not interchangeable between them. Always tell the breaker your exact registration so they can pull the right generation.
Both years fall within the W246 generation (2012–2018), so they are the same generation, which is a good starting point. However, brake spec can vary with engine size within a generation, and there was also a facelift in 2015, so confirm with the breaker that the donor car's engine and exact year match yours before buying.
Yes, it can — larger or more powerful engines (for example, the B220 or B250) are sometimes paired with uprated brakes compared to smaller-engined variants like the B180, meaning caliper sizes may differ. Always give the breaker your engine size and registration, not just the B-Class model name.
Yes, front and rear calipers are handed (NS and OS are mirror images of each other), so you must specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Getting the wrong side is one of the most common ordering mistakes, so double-check before you buy.
Trim level alone — SE, Sport, or AMG Line — does not determine the brake caliper; what matters is the engine size and generation. That said, if you are unsure whether your car has any factory brake upgrade options fitted, confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming standard spec.
Yes — the B-Class is a front-wheel-drive hatchback and has hydraulic disc brake calipers on all four wheels across both the W245 (2005–2011) and W246 (2012–2018) generations, so this is a genuine and commonly sourced part. When searching, have your registration, engine size, and the side you need (NS or OS, front or rear) ready for the breaker.
